restitution
(Greek, "apokatastasis"", means "restoration", occurring here and (Acts 1:6) only.) The meaning is limited by the words: "Which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets." The prophets speak of the restoration of Israel to the land
(See "Israel,"; (Genesis 12:2); (Genesis 12:3); (Romans 11:26);
also "Palestinian Covenant," (Deuteronomy 30:1-9).
( See Scofield) - (Deuteronomy 30:3);
and of the restoration, the theocracy, under David's Son.
(See "Davidic Covenant," (2 Samuel 7:8-17).
( See Scofield) - (2 Samuel 7:16),
"Kingdom," (Genesis 1:26-28).
( See Scofield) - (Zechariah 12:8).
No prediction of the conversion and restoration of the wicked dead is found in the prophets, or elsewhere.
Compare (Revelation 20:11-15).
